Question

I’m using the jquery-validation-engine plugin and after validate I need to add a class to the inputs with the error promt to add for example a red border or something like that, is there a way using the plugin configuration to setup this?

Answer 1

I alsow use that same plugin.

Do you have the last verion off the plug-in ?
In the file: jquery.validationEngine.js

you will find almost at the bottom:

InvalidFields: [],
    onFieldSuccess: false,
    onFieldFailure: false,
    onSuccess: false,
    onFailure: false,
    addSuccessCssClassToField: false,
    addFailureCssClassToField: false,

These are the ‘master’ settings for the options you are looking for.
My current setup is like:

        InvalidFields: [],
    onFieldSuccess: true,
    onFieldFailure: true,
    onFormSuccess: false,
    onFormFailure: false,
    addSuccessCssClassToField: 'inputbox-success',
    addFailureCssClassToField: 'inputbox-error',

And then the two css classes in youre css file ( ‘inputbox-error’ & ‘inputbox-succes’).

This works just fine over here..
Good Luck…

And if you have any more question about this plugin or other functions off it just ask .. 😛
